The violence occasioned by cells of organized criminals worsened in these last hours in the south of the state, with three executions in less than 24 hours, members of Old School Los Zetas in alliance with the Cartel del Golfo declared war on the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.

Today in the town of Agua Dulce, 456 kilometres from the state capital, a youngster of 30 years of age was shot dead at a landfill site, his body had bullet impacts in the head and one more in the left hand, as well as visible signs of being beaten.

At his side, an narco message on red card with black letters, on which members of the Los Zetas Old School and Cartel del Golfo assured that they were united for battle against the traitors and those who flipped to and anyone who claims to be a member of the Cartel Jalisco Nuevo Generacion.

The message goes on " so for those hiding in Villa, Xalapa, Poza Rica and Tijuana, we will find you, you ball of traitors", recorded the message.

A couple of hours earlier, in the El Tesorero Colonia, Antonio Rodriguez, in charge of legal matters of the municipal DIF, was found tied up and slain. The official from the city council had been kidnapped some days before from a bar in the town.

A few days earlier, it was confirmed that Patricia Herrera Martinez, a student of business management at the Veracruz University, 24 years of age, had been beheaded and her head had been left near the Cosoleacaque-Jaltipan road, the rest of her body has not been located.

With her head, appeared a narco message that threatened members of a criminal cell and police forces that collaborate with them. The Attorney General of the state has kept the case files secret.

The youngster Herrera Martinez left her house in Minatitlan on Friday night, together with four friends and headed to the La Tecolota bar around 9pm.

Then some subject desceneded from a white Versa car with tinted windows, and immediately, said her friends, said "this is the niece of El H."

Looking stupified, Patricia Herrera did not know what to say and was taken by the alleged kidnappers. Relatives contacted the media, that via telephone the CJNG had demanded one million pesos to return their daughter safe and sound.

The narco message left with her head said " citizens, we are already here and like the head of the pig and this dog, we are going to stay for the other dogs mentioned, Civil Force and the Police are going to suck, we are not playing Pablo Herrera, this happens to those who flip, your children and all the dogs that hinder us".

In Veracruz, according to the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security, in Decemeber 2016 to June 2017, there were 1444 homicides, which Governor Miguel Angel Yunes himself acknowledged that 70% are felony homicides that are executions due to settling of accounts among organized criminals.

Just last Wednesday, the Secretary of Public Security, Jaime Tellez Marie, appeared with local deputies, and acknowledged violent crime rates, blaming the previous governments of Javier Duarte and Fidel Herrera for having been permissive with the entrance of criminal groups of drug trafficking.

Tellez also admitted that the SSP had no resources to operate as it wished, in return he said " we work from the heart".

The appearance became heated when the deputies, Ernesto Cuevas and Fernando Kuri demanded his resignation for the bad results, to which, Tellez Marie responded that Vuevas takes it personal because he has been caught drunk driving and that in the case of Kuri, had denied that he had let some trucks with stolen material pass by, and whose cars belonged to the family business of the legislator in the Cordoba-Orizaba region.

Tellez also acknowledged that it was not possible to advance the purge of the police as intended, for the same issue of economic insolvency.

That's been the problem all along. Inept government who care little of its country and its citizens. Where corruption and self interests are the key factors for such violence.New government led by good citizens with good hearts is what's needed.

Tamaulipas governor Francisco Javier Garcia Cabeza de Güey can't send his state police compassed of former policis federales to conquer the state of veracruz for the priistas that dream of POWER and the return of their priista governors Z1 #2 fidel herrera beltran 'el tepocate' and La Marrana Duarte de ochoa, so he sends (cdg and zetas "old school" to kurder young women and others, for EPN and to tie up veracruz for MAO osorio chón for 2018, by then the veracruzanos will be begging on their knees for the return of La marrana parada...The SSP IS PLAYING POSSUM5HE RED GUARDS OF MAO TSE TUNG or fidel castro were not communist ideologues, and they were not paid, but they sure made crooks toe the line for their leaders, same as the AutoDefensas of Dr Mireles, the towns could care.for themselves if the governor decides to make it the law and takes over pemex installations and production, they are property of the state anyway, at least for state taxes. And a little would be left to steal, don't you think? But it may be easier to play possum for epn and his PRIISTAS sicarios and war lords for a while.

Only a filthy animal would behead an innocent child because she's related to another scum bag. I would love to roast those fucking bastards very slowly and just watch their eye's as they pay for killing innocent people that have nothing to do with the drug trade. It's perfectly fine to off those who know the score of playing the game but kids and innocents leave alone. One can only hope these parasites get what's coming to them, and it will.

Thats how tuff these lowlífes think they are, killing inocents. Hope that piece of $#!7 gets caught and shot on the Spot by la marina. These people know no honor so they shouldn't get any sort of mercy in return. May they all hace a slow and painful death.

Someone needs to begin executing politicians: a cup of gasoline and a match. Scum like Beltrones, Fidel Herrera, and Duarte(s) should be necklaced with burning tires. Yarrington, Del Mazo - kill all these bastards and watch a lot of corruption disappear up in smoke...

Every time I see a picture of sicarios from Los Z they all look no older than 18, they look frail in comparison to the CJNG sicarios. People are starting to realize how much of a threat new generation poses to any cartel in the country but only time will tell if they realized this too late or just in time to slow down the advances,

Well if cdg and z pact and they start moving product that will change. CJNG will not be successful. CDS in there prime werent successful this will be mencho worst move. Zetas and gulf maybe splintered but this may unite them and they could rise from the ashes

The Z have gone toe to toe with CJNG in Veracruz a long time so I doubt the Z sicarios looking frail has anything to do with their ability. Until CJNG can exterminate the Z from Veracruz I call bullshit on their superiority.

@1:42 you're correct... it is typical of ppl from that region of Mexico .. Tamaulipas Veracruz and even Coahuila and Michoacán ppl are slimmer, poorly developed and like homeboy said malnourished ... if you go to chihuahua Sinaloa and Sonora ppl tend to be big boned , far more massive and handsome... so that pertains to cartels as well... sicarios from Tamaulipas feed on mostly Maruchans and whatever they can steal from civilians

It's funny how they portray michoacanos in this site lol I'm michoacano and have short cousins and tall cousins, ants and uncles. It's lije that in all the states of mexico I've been in, including Sinaloa and Chihuahua. There's alot of short people in Sinaloa too, if they were ALL so tall in sinaloa why are most capos from there short and call them chapo? Cjng is going to clean cdg and zetas off the map just watch, cds never had the balls to go take the war to zetas house just cjng. Cds was too scared so they didn't pass cauhila for fear of zetas. Cjng is already way too deep in veracruz and alot iff zetas abd golfos made a move to work for cjng instead just like cds in tijuana and baja califas.

The Dude with the Barrett 50BMG doesn't look malnourished and neither does the guy holding the two AR's. Size doesn't matter when it comes to killing or marksmanship. The deadliest sniper I knew was 5'6" and 125 pounds soak and wet.

@ 8:31 you sound just like the cheerleaders that chapo had. CJNG might be strong but CDG & Zetas really dominate the Golf coast. La Compañia "Zetas & Golfos" alliance has plazas around Jalisco especially Guadalajara but also in Michoacan, Colima & Veracruz where CJNG can even exterminate La Compañia out of there & they been going at it for years already against los Zetas. CJNG cant even enter Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Zacatecas, Coahila & San Luis without paying piso. Mencho screw up on betraying CDG there was never any beef between both Golfos would always rescue CJNG when they would get attack from CDN. We are witnessing the last days of CJNG believe me locos. Soy 35-C1 bien 18 al 3-2 en el 75. Arriva La Maña y toda la Compañia. El Dos Banderas.

@12:27 that's funny cuz haven't you seen el chanito de Culiacán? That guy is skinny as shit and what about el chapo? Is he tall and big boned. U probably have never been to other cities besides mochis.

CDG aren't going anywhere they are deeply woven into south Texas and that's just plain fact . I could care less about any of these F-n idiots regardless but if you ever spent time in south Texas you would know that they have ppl everywhere and a lot of em flaunt that shit .Its funny to me tough guys always put targets on their backs and think they are the first to live that life and lessons from history dont apply to them . I guess you gotta do something to thin the herd

I lived in Houston and you are right Tamps and Nuevo León are deeply involved there but also the Michoacános there are very few chinolas but they roll with the best of them. And to the Michoacáno wth you talking about? The pacific cartel was the first to make a move into gulf turf they may have not won but they most def brought the war there.

For being an "HERRERA" related to "el H", but excuses would not be needed for these feral pigs sent from tamaulipas by the priista governor and his "FUERZA TAMAULIPAS"ALSO, having a KURI congressman involved...must be family of JEAN SUCCAR KURI, doing more than 100 years in prison for pederastia in Cancun where he became a millionaire "hotelier" after he started his "business" selling pop in plastic bags...Now this pendejo huachicolero "sells" pirated oil from veracruz,

They killed her because #1) she was mentioned as the niece of 'el H' the person they were seeking or the person's family they want to eliminate. #2) she was a person of mistaken identity #3) she was actually the niece of 'el H' #4) payback for drug theft, snitching or a rival gang member #5) the list is endless.

However I do understand where you are coming from. You must remember that cartel mafia members have NO feelings, NO remorse, NO emotions --- these are sub-human waste products who, for instance; kidnap, rape, murder, maim, butcher, chainsaw, set on fire, cook, flay, paralyze their own family, relatives, neighbors, friends, 'co-workers', clergy, and also this list is endless. But in the end they actually do not know what they do. Many are fried beyond normal behavior from their own opioids of heroin, fentanyl, meth (this list to is endless). They have no understanding of life. They were born killers and mass murderers and Mexico needs to ask Trump to send down the US military and end these cartels once and for all.

I agree with you 100% till you mention that they are bornes killers, nobody is born like that they turn into killers in a country with so much corruption that it is al most allowed, these people should have never even been born but their parents were the same care less people that they were not educated yet they bring 10 kids to this world so 8 turn bad. The trump thing is just hillarious, the use has not won a war since 1945, and that was because the russians were on our side.

I somewhat agreed with you 4:28 until you start blaming the parents and saying they were careless and uneducated with 10 kids...sounds like gross stereotype..Sounds like you believe good parents don't have bad kids and vice versa.

@8:18 No its simply an ethnic handicap that applies once you cross over into the third world . They were destined to be shit heads and they are it's like a festival of angry macho greedy murder junkies. When you step over that southern border, the smell of Nuevo Laredo as you emerge on the Mexico side really lets you know that Urine Mexico and things are about to get weird. And if that doesn't do it,it'll prbly hit you mid way through the donkey show . If that's the case just ride it out but is is about to get a lot weirder.Eye contact is outta the question and if it looks like an Adams Apple it prbly is ... Good luck and dont breethe thru your nose.

Ethnic handicap my ass, it is as if the black Africans were born challenged for europeans to prey on them and feed their greedy economies from making them slaves, Same thing with mexicans "born that way"...-.Poverty is a creation of the greedy bastards who also reserve the right to explain poverty the way it suits them better.

Unless it's the translation, it sounds like her friends gave her up when confronted by the kidnappers and announced to them who she was? Could have been planned ahead or her "friends" paid off to set her up?

CJNG Zeta Killers?Just like Boca killing innocent people.Picking and innocent girl up in a group of girls,real badass.CJNG are worse than Zetas,the worst videos come from CJNG,but they making to much money lining to many pockets while all other groups are killing each other

Who really knows if they were not zetas? Yes, they were cops ,teachers butchers and so on but that doesn't mean they were not in the business.. Plus, cjng would look stupid to zetas if they were not zetas. There is a reason many zetas are switching to cjng, fear of getting killed or cjng gives them better opportunity to make drug money instead off robbing the locals

I do agree to some extent. If the cartel alliances were still held. However, due to the break hell broke loose. Furthermore, evidence of Middle East countries after its government collapse ( take over) has only led to chaos and unstableness. Many believe it was best to have not interfered in those countries. A war with no end in sight nor a resolution. Something to ponder on.

6:39 well, those middle east countries have a lot of oil, and american and british oil companies needed to rob all the oil they could, but "not the ownership" mind you, it's just some trillions and trillions dollars worth of "reconstruction contractz", to double the earnings from making and delivering the bombs that flattened those middle east countries.If the US foreign debt gets multiplied by the tens of trillons.of dollars, so what? Declare bankruptcy, there is the "expert bankruptcy businessman in charge of the deal" there.

Thats how coward cjng are they kill children because they to scared to kill the real jefes cdg and zetas are gone eat them mata ninas for breakfast they can't win against sinaloa templarios you think they gone beat cdg and zetas lol

No fueron las jaliskas, fué la policia estatal, quieren hueso de security guards. Anybody can be blamed in an anonymous "manta", but nobody kills and facks up like hungry polesias and private security corporations.

Wow talk about the enemy of my enemy is my friend. 2 warring cartels united in an unholy marriage 2 defeat CJNG. Mencho's gonna have his work cut out 4 him. The corridasos 2 come should be interesting. - Sol Prendido

Can only imagine what the citizens feel with such violence and uncertainty. Killings of individuals continues to spike out of control. The government should implement Marshal law in the most needed states. Then again I am optimistic about such implementation due to those government officials being part of the problem. A continuous and endless war !!!!!!

"Martial Law,.pendejo, inorante.It would work, except for the military and the police being the worst criminals in mexico.Now that the government confesses about the "lack of funds" and of the police corruption being a problem, "but tha's us all they got to defend society" is the time to GET OUT OF THE WAY and let people handle their own security.It is a pity and a shame that much smaller countries with much less oil can defend themselves successfully from inter ational threats and Veracruz can't defend itself from a few.maruchaneros muertos de hambre after 100 years of solitude being the richest producer of oil in mexico,..they Wuz robbed.

Processo reports that this was a case of mistaken identity; Patricia Herrera wasn't the niece of Comandante H, her father is a lawyer named Enrique Herrera Guillen (not the Pablo Herrera the mensaje referred to).

You've been on zeta bandwagon recently. Is it a pais public affairs tactic do you have a mole or are they really coning back strong? I was under the impression zetas were rip off crews and kidnappers/ extortionate. Are they a legit cartel or just a gang?Keep up the good work

Thought of your comment only me feel how ignorant one really is to state that . However after giving serious consideration I do admit you do make a point. Why was she doing at a bar? Then again this conception only illustrates the ignorance towards a woman with no free will . A bad conception for woman's rights and freedoms. Fine example of old school traditions where a woman's place is at home. I guess the truth as to why she was at the bar will Never be heard or spoken out? Nevertheless, a males perspective with a prejudiced opinion for many. I will call it a sticky situation!

That is the mark of amateurs/stupid people as well as cowards! They are incompetent and incapable to locate their true targets/enemies so they locate their targets relatives and try and bait them into a response. They capture easy pray. There is no real talent in doing this regardless of which cartel does this. Piss on them all!Esta es la marca de amateos estupidos y cobardes! Solo gente incompetente e incapaz de encontrar a sus verdaderos enemigos hace esto con la familia de ellos para poder engancharlos a salir a pelear. Capturan a presas faciles nada mas. No se necesita talento verdadero para hacer esto no importa el cartel que lo hace. Vayanse a la verga todos!

Cjng is already to deep in veracruz and is continuing to advance north, the way it's looking they might end up in tamaulipas. The zetas are not what they were when they first started, now you got inexperienced tweaked out teenagers as sicarios instead of gafes or ex military. Not to mention how cdg and ZETAS are good at backstabing and killing each other to be on top, there is like a New leader every day. Zetas and golfos have no chance. If they are teaming ip it's because THEY are loosing their plazas and out of desperation, they clicked up to fight cjng.

El señor Cortez is CDG Matamoros boss who is well respected by the Locals & really gaining fast support in Reynosa. Now that is what you call a real leader & not someone like Mencho who forces respect out of fear from the Locals.

Wow talking about back stabbers how you think el mencho got to be where he is. Cjng= cartel de los torcidos. Why do you think that they got thst nickname for how many ppl mencho fucked over to be where he is.

Well, somebody delivered the Amezcuas Kings of mathamphetamine and stole their business, it was only his luck that La Nacha Coronel ended owning the business, and la Mencha will go the same way as his Cuinis, But why nobody does anything about "El Traficante mas Poderoso de Tierra Caliente? Miguel Angel Gallegos Godoy, untouchable and unmentionable, but here it is again.

@6:31 and @7:24 Linieros are workimg with the Z and that's a fact remember the recent shootout between CDJ vs CDS in Chihuahua we'll Zetas where backing up linieros in that battle. Most probably Linieros are working with "Zetas Del Sur" it's another cell from the S that are against the CDN. "Zetas Del Sur" are in the southern area of Mexico and they take orders from Z-43 and Z-33 they are not part of the Old-school Z and CDG alliance neither they work with the CDN it's a different S cell "Zetas Del Sur".

Same question I have what if she was? And if breaking rules set before if not touching family not directlectly involved in the business I guess removing the old bosses is a double edge sword things change nobody is safe,

I would really like to get in the head this of El Mencho, find out what this guy is life story is all about, and how he runs his cartel, I hope we find out everything about El Chapo, as soon as he's lock up in ADX and start cooperating/singing, for a better treatment, its a shame they don't put these ADX guys, in a CIA Black-site, before they get transferred to ADX, the things they would confess at the CIA Black-site.

8:53 the CIA is ashamed of their own Black Sites, their private independent contractors are ashamed, the people that contracted them are ashamed, their results are a shame, and after 16 years of war, the results are a shame, but the aims of raiding the public trough sure were met exceedingly well, teillions of dollars 8n stolen oil and more to spare and trillions of dollars the US owes, but are safe in the War Profitters' pockets... somewhere safe, offshore

Last peice of the puzzle for CJNG... Golfos n Zetas have absolutely No money to match CJNG... #2 Zetas have an internal war with CDN...#3 CJNG left Juarez for last... Trust me... Window... Is the millenium crack... CJNG controls that shit with an Iron Fist... The other cartel are stuck on that High as well... Look at Juarez... By Dec... CJNG Will control Tamps as well..
